Welcome to Bleach Platinum Hearts RP! This is a Bleach Role Playing Forum set in the year 2416, over 400 years away from the Original Bleach's timeline. It has elements of both canon and custom for a unique mixture of role playing never seen before on Bleach. To get started, please sign up and read our starter guide:

These days have been something that Cero could accept for the time being, the year behind him was spent buried in the background of a world that is covered in the possibilities of warfare, tyranny, and terror that could seize the moment at any time. The Hohl Arquero, could not stop and prevent all of these chances, but he did what he could for those that were important to him and looked to make this world that he shared with so many others, much safer. Now, wasn't quite the time for him to take to the stage just yet, in his stances towards what he believed was the evils of the world in his eyes. It was time to take a step in making sure things were safe and sound though in one place that he has put his life, time, and energy into preserving. This was how he found himself, in this city of light, allowing himself to reflect and focus on the things that were around him rather than the relations of the organizations and armies of earth and beyond. Maybe some day, he would also be able to indulge more in himself personally, rather than on the global or universal scale.

It was at the time that he found himself waiting in what was meant to be a meeting place for Quincy, he found himself, simply drinking a small cup of coffee, stirring in the sugar as he took in the light of the city, the scenery that cover the area around him. Looking at the coffee cup that he made his drink from, he reflected on the fact of how powerful he was, yet he interacted with such a fragile object still. It reminded him that while he truly was different from the normal people on this planet, but he was still capable of living among them, interacting with him, even though he was something akin to a beast, a monster in a sense, even to the things that made up what he was on the inside.

It was only a matter of time before he would be meeting with the person that watched over this city, and the person who watched over the people within it as well. It was after all only a matter of perspective on the matter on as technically it wasn't a single person at this point in the world, and based on what Cero knew of the world before, this world always looked to a single person, in place of a group of individuals. Not that many groups weren't represented at times either, just that leaders and guardians are far more memorable as heroes instead of the groups that they represent or emerged from.

Little by Little, the drink that he had would eventually slowly become empty, it was a thing of his to show up early, it wasn't that he was really expecting them before now, so Cero was only being patient, it was a calming moment for the Beast of Sound, Diplomat of Yayjuu & Kokuryuteshi Realm, and former member of the Vandenreich. All the while he's only 21 year old at this point in his life, yet he had the memories of a Quincy Emperor, a raising Arrancar during the third World War, and finally the emotions and memories of a teenage Quincy boy. Yet he was, a savior to the Vandenreich, and the majority of the Quincy race that remained from the conflict that existed between them, and the Kokuryuteshi Realm.

"Another day, another opportunity to improve one's self." He said to himself, as he waited for those that he intended to meet with him.

This place was rather brightly named and such his frame landed as he'd been called here of sorts. He'd not been the Emperor for some time as he walked something was different. He could sense the energy and its flow around them. Each perhaps had a strange feeling coming from them. Becoming more sensitive due to his meditations. He lowered his hood upon entering the shop but not from the direction of this structure's Head Quarters or whatever. He smiled somewhat seeing the person he'd be asked to meet, he didn't mind it so much. Hulderic's one good memory was the man sitting before him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Cero Tesla. My name is Ghislain Eberhart, I am current the Boros Guard Captain for the Vanguard. I am not the Emperor any further..it seems to be a misconception going around." Ghislain was calm and very personable in terms of demeanor compared to his counterparts. Perhaps that's what made him weak in turn to those before him. But he didn't consider that a weakness that was pointless. "May I sit?"

He waited for a moment before given the clear to sit down by the male. His frame sat as he smiled softly, looking at the man. "I know of you due to Hulderic's memories and I am very thankful for everything you've done. I tried to build on your efforts but something interfered with that. I worry for the future of our race as someone I think will soon go down a path..that I have seen before." Ghislain said softly as his smile faded remembering his meeting with Sofia. That child was troubling, her hunger for power would be a destructive thing. It consumed one leader and turned them into nothing. A husk that destroyed their people entirely he was concerned about it. But for the most part, he would wait for her to arrive before he went into discussions about it. Allowing her to know what was said was still possible with her. He hands immense control over his mind and such wasn't hard with fellow Quincy.

His fight with Mana made him conclude two things for sure. First, she wasn't the blood hungry psycho they made her out to be. Second, she was as strong as rumors stated, but something more. She was beyond that comprehension of understanding. Her energy was still engraved in his mind and his body had a pretty good reminder of Desmond at present. The way of fighting had changed and evolution was required by him to remain effective. But for now, it was nice to see someone who did care about their race. Someone who he could inform and let in on things. But once the last person arrived he would inform them both of his growing concern. Her brashness convinced him she was power hungry and what's more, he sensed something else. It was faint but most definitely something off about the young child. But for now a simple drink would do and a meeting in this city he never saw. Lights and glowing weren't his cups of tea and as an Emperor, he enjoyed more natural settings where they lived peacefully. But to each their own, some people need paradise in this fashion.

”..Another Unexpected Guest. . “ The elect’s thoughts rattled around inside of her own head. She had sensed multiple presences that normally would not be within the great nation of the quincy. One of them she was familiar with to the point of near-intimacy, this male was known as Ghislain, he was originally the emperor of the quincy, a man who had failed and then abandoned his people due to some varying circumstances. The other? Well, he was someone who she had to visually identify with the reishi convergence system. This male was none other than Cero, the male who had although with good intentions, caused for the vandenreich and it’s people to not only lose their home, but at the same time it caused them to have to vacate the vast snowy tundra’s of antarctica.

She hadn’t rushed, because why should she? Both of them undoubtedly came for the same reason all these other organizations had. To see just where the quincy would fit into this chaotic and unstable world. Plus, her opinion of Cero was not the greatest at this point in time. There was many unpleasant emotions that naturally shuddered under the surface of her skin simply because of his name. These emotions naturally caused her serene platinum colored gaze to darken, turning into the darkest of shadow silvers.

She felt disappointment, not that he had done anything to warrant it. After all, despite her serene unshakable exterior, she was still a being of a race that stemmed from humanity. She had her own flaws, her own imperfections. Niflheim secretly had wished that Cero would have not turned his back on the quincy race, and instead fought for it. Even if it didn’t change the outcome, because he had power so many people would do anything to obtain. Yet he aided in the destruction of the vandenreich, that was something that even if she as a person wished of overlook, as the organization leader she simply couldn’t.

There also was frustration, because this male was immensely powerful. He was also younger than some of the captains in the vandenreich. Yet, despite all this raw talent he hadn’t tried his hand at leading the quincies and making sure there was a stable place for them. Yes, it was wistful thinking on her part that someone who was a child in her eyes could hold all this blame. That was the thing though, she simply knew this all was irrational thought, just a vent of emotions that constantly bounced about in her head as she strode across the side-walk of the city of light, her heels clacking audibly against the pavement.

Thankfully she had at this point a millennia to practice the art of holding onto her emotions. So one by one, each painful and rather rash emotion was pushed to the back-burner and locked away in a dark little corner of her psyche so it would not see the light of day. Afterwards? She had made her way over to the two men. Her expression was courteous, but it was best described as bland. Yes, there was a regality in her movements that came from her poise, the gentle tilt of her chin, and a demure smile on her face. But, it was cordial at best. There was no soul-deep spark of joy in seeing either of them here, and who could blame her? The last month had pushed her already fraying nerves to the very edge, she was balancing over a metaphorical tight-rope balancing the quincy races wants, and what was needed to ultimately save them.

So there was in short, a lot going on in her mind. She many, many problems to deal with and this was only one of them. Yet, she knew this full well when signing on for this bumpy ride thus she had waved her hand as a chair had formed from the particles of free-floating energy around her. The reason for using her reishi manipulation to conjure up a chair wasn’t to be vain, or egotistical. There was a far more intrinsic reason, which was the thrum of reishi that vibrated beneath the surface of this construct soothed her, it gave her a sense of comfort that was needed if she was to continue this charade. Hence with all these actions done she had neatly laced her fingers together in her lap and looked towards Ghislain giving him an acknowledging nod, because it would be rude to ignore his presence. That being said, he wasn’t the reason she had come here so her eye-contact with him was breif and could be described as fleeting as she focused on the main reason she was here today. Her lips parted as her crisp voice echoed in a clear yet kind tone of voice that had undertones of vigor.

”Cero, i can honestly say i’m surprised that you of all people showed up here. I won’t beat around the bush because i’m curious as to what has brought you here today, asKokuryuteshi historically speaking isn’t exactly the best of friend with the Vandenreich Organization, granted, that was for good reason.”

She wasn’t one to mince words, and even though each word uttered here normally would sound either agressive of condescending, it would convey neither in this situation. Given the sheer neutrality that stemmed from her own changes in both tone, and the crisp clarity of her voice conveyed this statement very differently. It was conveyed both as her being blunt, but also it was phrased in such a way that it would let him know that while she did have misgivings when the Kokuryuteshi was brought into the picture, that it also was nothing personal. It was rather that she was ultimately wary of this man, as she should be. Given he a former member of the vandenreich had left, come back and then aided in the destruction of this organization once before.

”..However, i hope that can remain in the past, since you have come here, i cannot see any reason to ask you to leave. “

This statement was very crucial, because it had a hidden meaning in it. She was stating even though she was certainly wary of him, she wasn’t condemning him for his past actions, and rather forgave him for it. After all, politically speaking a slumbering giant was not something she was very keen on poking, and so long as it didn’t provoke or harm her quincy race she didn’t really see a need to antagonise anyone or anything. With all this said she calmly awaited for him to get the to the heart of the matter, which was why he had come here, and more importantly; what he wanted to get out of this encounter.

Cero believed that even in the darkest days a light shines even as it lingers there alone, if he was to look at that picture he looks at it and knows that from light stems more light, to which spreads, and pushes back the darkness of the world. That was an interesting way to also look at the name for this city, a gathering around a spark that has caught on to produce new lights and grow flames. The Hohl Arquero, looked a the spark that made this new city and wondered what kind of flame was formed here, would it be a flame that followed a path towards growth, power, or a more ambitious means. He could only hope that it is a more beneficial movement and ascension than a harmful one. He was not a being that intended to directly lead the quincy people, but he didn't want to see them fall apart either, he had the things that he considered an obligation, he felt it was well within his capabilities to try and preserve the freedom of the quincy race, he did not however feel obligated to lead them, and especially given the circumstances of the moment that he did seize a bit of power, he would never lead anyone to their death, leaving them anywhere close to the gates of the afterlife.

It was nice, when the first person to meet with him had arrived, it appeared to be, a person that was once referred to under the same title as Hulderic, a man that Cero was a tad wary, of but more so, interested in all of the actions that he has taken in leaving and tearing down the position of the Quincy Emperor. These were the things that flashed through his mind, as the man introduced himself to Cero, which made the Hohl Arquero raise his head in attention to the one now before him, and he gracefully said. "You can most certain take a seat, after all, I invited you here to meet with me." He would have said and directed his hand and arm to the chair around the table that Ghislain was closest to, offering for him to sit there. It was in the moment after that the Quincy before him explained that it was through the memories of Hulderic that he knew of Cero's existence, and of what he has done for the Quincy race, on top of the more public knowledge about him. It was also however, in these moment that he was finding himself tracing back to memories that didn't belong to him, like he has so many times and moments in his life. To know that the man before him was one that existed in those memories had spoken waves to him, when he became aware of this man's existence, but of course there was the great deal of time that was now blank between when these memories ever existed and the present day, it has technically been over centuries, he would try not to play it off as he already knew the former emperor, but at the same time, familiarity, is something that is very difficult to get rid of.

The next thing that Ghislain explained to Cero though came to him as a bit unexpected, but also peaked his curiosity, as he listened and would mention with a bit of concern after he was done talking as a response. " I'm not exactly sure what I can do to help you or this person, but if this is something that you feel will effect the future of the Quincy race, I'm all ears on any suggestions you might have." It was after this that Cero took another drink from his cup as he tried to keep himself calm as he knew that the other guest to his little gathering was due to show up as well, and he did not want to start off the introduction between the two of them on something that he had little clue of whether it is a minor conflict or a crisis. " Could you tell me a bit more about this individual and the situation that they have put themselves in?" He would ask of the former Quincy emperor. Recall was in process of his mind of only two quincy that have ever tried to endanger the entire race, those were both ones that held enormous power, and with what was being described, it sounded like this person was trying to gather and harness more power and authority. Cero would not allow such a person in to a position of power, until things are figured out and he would probably go as far to squash any of their chances of advancing forward should they be a very big predicament. Cero placed his cup back on the table as he would look as sincere as he could in listening to what Ghislain had to say about what has occurred if he would. After which, Cero would breath deeply taking it all in to his mind, in the massive space that held memories of beings long past. It was also afterwards that the final guest would step into the view of Cero's perception in this city of lights.

Niflheim was an individual that was taking lead in this city and among the Quincy race as a whole stepping up to the head and leader of the Vandenreich. In his eyes, she is one that has earned the respect of the race greatly to act in place of what was once held by the emperors alone. While she had done nothing to offend Cero or lead to him taking any ill intent towards her, he was someone that he has long decided would be held within his sights for he did not want the Vandenreich to be restored, but rather something new to take root. This was not his decision though, but with coming here he wanted to make sure that the new leader of the Quincy was as pure in their intentions as their blood was. He hoped that she would be a person that was very reasonable to deal with at the very least, as being a diplomat, he has had his share of people that he has come to work with when it comes to words, and when it comes to them, it can be so easy for one to reject them and not listen at all to what the speaker is saying, sure one can hear, but that is clearly not listening at heart.

Before she had spoken to Cero, and as she was still just arriving he spoke very clearly to her, being very calm in how he spoke and very eager to speak with her though. "I'm glad to see that you were able to make it, Nifheim, please join us at the table." It was after this point that after his warm welcoming that he heard what Nifheim stated and the point that she was making that Cero came to this city with an intention in mind, which it would be lies from his mouth to say that he didn't have something or another that he wanted to accomplish so he he took a few moments after she was done speaking to respond. When she spoke Cero did not change away from his calm and serene demeanor, and it continued into his response with soft words. " I will be quite honest, I come here not on the regards of the Kokuryuteshi Realm, or on the Behalf as a leader of the Yayjuu, I come for the part of my blood and body, that lay linked to this city, and in a way the organization that you currently rule over. It lays in the past that I turned away from this organization and I apologize for such but given the state that the previous emperor, Hulderic, left the race and organization, I really wanted nothing to do with it and I wanted that vision of the Vandenreich disbanded the Quincy people, to find a new way. He explained in response to what Nifheim had said so far and would turn to Ghislain, but ultimately try to be looking and speaking with the both of them as he explained.

" I called the three of us together here, because while our position may have changed and we are split in how we wish to take things with the Quincy race, I want us three to come to an agreement or more so an understanding on what the others want to accomplish. I have heard many thing about the both of you and your recent actions have said waves about things, but I want to be very direct, for there is probably many things you have heard or seen about me as well." [/i] He would say to the both of them.

Finally his gaze would shift to only Nifheim once more as he directed one final statement. "While I did turn my back on the previous Vandenreich, I will consider your organization for all intents and purposes to be different unless proven otherwise, so please do not worry that I will hold you accountable for anything that the ones before you have done, but I hope that you will keep the Quincy race, and this organization on a more peaceful path." This was his closing statement and he would allow for Nifheim to respond or otherwise Ghislain could say whatever was on his mind to the other things that Cero or Nifheim said.

"Thank you, I'll inform you of her when she gets here.I will be begging your pardon later..This will be uncomfortable for you both." Ghislain said to Cero before taking his seat as he picked up his cup of tea from a shocked waitress. Most assumed he'd died when the connection was lost he guessed. A couple had gotten it right for the most part as Cero asked him the question on the subject."I'll show you both shortly.." His eyes narrowed a bit as he sensed her coming. The energy was such an easy thing to read from both of them as he sat quietly and let them have their discussion for the moment. He would speak when it was time and he figured she'd not like it. Nif didn't like the whole mind power thing that Emperors got. Ghislain had cut the connection, but his power over Quincy minds and to trade information hadn't gone away. Had he not been so masterful in the art of doing so. This would have been something groundbreaking that hurt the race entirely beyond recovery.

Once Cero finished speaking he spoke and decided it was a time she learns the true of the matter. "Alright, I am going to be giving both of you a gift today. Something few ever did one is a last Will for you Cero. From Hulderic, I will do yours first..It's similar to the memories you have of Yhwach from him." He said softly reaching across the table he touched Cero's hand for contact as his free hand that had held tea a moment ago raised. Pushing his thumb and middle finger together a snapping noise would sound out almost like loud noise. A surge of memories would hit Cero of Hulderic from his true beginning and goals. Then the downfall and destruction of eating Yhwach brought him."As for you, I am going to let you see Yhwach's story, unlike anything you've ever seen before." Releasing Cero's hand he looked at her now his cerulean eyes calm. He'd come here for two purposes of his own now. One was nearly complete, it was the about time she truly knows the workings of a monster.

He would have repeated the process with her but he got the feeling she'd get upset about him touching her. So pointed one hand at her and performed the snap again. Sending the memories and life of that demon to her. The true goals and aspirations to devour their entire race for power. The war being nothing but a means to an end for him to become a God. "Oh right almost forgot, guess I'll share the information about Sofia and our little meeting as well..she's troubling." Performing one more click the two would get to see the conversation and what she had called the older of their kind. His cerulean eyes slowly closed as he glanced at Cero. "Now, I have a reason of my own for attending this meeting. Cero, I am going to offer you something that is gone. there are no history books on it and even my senior can't perform them.The Monk Arts of are people, I will teach them to you if you desire as well as help you locate your Regalia."

He said calmly picking his tea up and sipping from the cup as he exhaled gently. Cero hadn't been provided with proper Quincy training or known of these forms. Ghislain had grown in the era they died in vanishing forever. While she his senior may have known of them. She didn't know how to use them or correctly utilize the techniques of their people. Ghislain gently tapped his locket before it turned into a black katana for a moment. He gripped the weapon while no hostile intentions showed from his form. "This is a Regalia, it's an Ancient Quincy weapon and friend. Mine is known as the Hound and is the oldest in existence. " Giving a short summary to Cero before the blade formed into the pendant again. He peered down at his wife's locket smiling softly. It was nice to see her face again. Slowly he closed the pocket watch like locket. His eyes focusing on Cero's reaction. To being given a chance to experience their people's true culture.

Would he spit on it like Sofia did, on their traditions and beliefs? Only time would tell, but Hulderic had thought highly of him. So he didn't know how Cero would react really.

The soft winter breeze, mild due to the ocean that surrounded them blew past, whipping the delicate strands of silver colored hair from the ponytail it had been pulled up into. Her liquid silver hued irises glancing down to the tea she had, the amber colored liquid reflecting a muted glow when the sun hit it. She listened to this man named cero speak, she kept her bias out of the equation; not listening to him as a single person. As someone who could be opinionated and childish, but as someone who had a heavy weight that she bore, she kept her personal emotions in check, quashing them easily. Her face was the perfect picture of demure sincerity, the softest of smiles adorning her almost Painted features.

”..So, he’s here not as someone who is of the yayjuu or the Kokuryuteshi Realm, but as an individual who wishes to apologies, that’s interesting. Maybe he isn’t as self-centered as i thought he might be? At the very least, he acknowledges the fault that belongs rightfully to him .” Her eyes had a soft gleam to them, that sparkled for a moment, before dulling back to the illustrious muted gloss of silver. Her words came out, neutral, the hinted undertones of hardness washed away, to be replaced by a tone that could only be categorized as Mild. It wasn’t hot nor warm as the words slid fluidly from her parted lips, the crisp enunciation of her words clear and ringing.

”..Don’t apologies, it’s a choice you made. While i do not fault you for it, and understand fully why you came to the conclusion you did. The results begets the situation. Just learn from it and move on, that is the best lesson to be had from this, but Cero the apologies sentiment is well received, and i thank you for it. “

Her words all had been directly to the point, but this simply seemed like she was shrugging off the apology that came from him. The reason for this was, in the long-term scheme of things, while his actions had caused a set back for the race, and the organization as a whole, he himself hadn’t malevolent intent, therefor she didn’t see the need to hound him endlessly about it. Instead she let her thoughts stay in her head, where they wouldn’t cause needless complications. Listening to the second part of what zero had to say, about their “Purposes” Or “Intentions” this caused Niflheim’s lips to curve at the edges only just slightly. It was a simple line of thought, but it was one that someone only looking at the present and short-term might take. Her answer reflected such sentiments.

”..What i want to accomplish, is restoring the quincy and taking them on a parallel that allows them to adjust and adapt to integrate into the world that exists today. I want to make it so they reach a point that they can leave this city, and simply exist, free from excess prejudice. “

Her candid response, was as fleeting as her gaze upon cero’s figure, those silver orbs shifting until they rested on Ghislain, her lips pursing as she listened to the former emperor’s words. Brows furrowing ever so slightly as the images came unbidden in her mind. A lesser being might balk under duress, but she took it without flinching. Displaying once more the tenacious willpower that had allowed her to become the person she was. She couldn’t be said to be happy about her subordinants actions, and a frown graced her lips. However other than that? She didn’t speak on the situation, her silver eyes shifting as she said slowly to ghislain.
